Tail Lights Reflectors

Hi mates,

I'm restoring and I've posted another thread on side mouldings.

There is another matter which intrigues me, is there any way to restore the inner reflectors of the tail lights?, As we know they tend to turn dark and stained over the time, I mean, could they be re-chromed or there is no other option than go buy an used one in the best shape available.

Again, would be grateful for any ideas or experience on the matter.

With careful surface prep, I have used auto store chrome paint with good results. There are also highly reflective Mylar foils available.
